CT Dynamic Ct Chest

10,000.00

A CT Dynamic Chest scan is a specialized computed tomography (CT) imaging technique used to assess the lung function, blood flow (perfusion), and movement of structures within the chest in real-time. This scan is often used for:

• Evaluating pulmonary circulation and airway dynamics
• Diagnosing lung tumors, vascular abnormalities, or airway obstructions
• Assessing conditions like tracheomalacia (collapsing airway)
• Monitoring tumor perfusion and response to treatment

 

 

Description

Test Preparation

To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guideline

  • Fasting:
    If contrast dye is used, fasting for 4–6 hours before the scan is recommended.
    If no contrast is required, fasting may not be necessary.
  • Metal Objects:
    Remove jewellery, piercings, or metallic accessories that might interfere with the scan.
  • Clothing:
    Wear loose, comfortable clothing without metal parts (zippers, buttons).
  • Medical History:
    Inform the doctor about:
    Allergies (especially to contrast dye)
    Kidney disease (as contrast dye can affect kidney function)
    Pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Breathing Instructions:
    Since this scan captures dynamic movement, you may be asked to follow breathing instructions, such as holding your breath at specific intervals.
  • Hydration (Post-Contrast Scan):
    After the scan, drink plenty of water to help flush out the contrast dye from your body.
